THE WAVELINE™ FLUTE
A fatigue-free, straight spine
“As teachers, we are expected to select the perfect flute for each and every child who wishes to play this instrument!” -Prof. Barbara Gisler- Haase, Vice Rector for Academic Affairs, Art and Young Artists' Promotion, mdw)
"We view picking out appropriately sized clothing or shoes as the most ordinary thing in the world. And it’s much the same with some musical instruments – like stringed instruments. But the flute market had never offered fully fledged instruments appropriate for differently sized players – which is why I created the Waveline™ Flute." -Mr. Werner Tomasi, Innovator of The Waveline™ Flute

The Waveline™ Design The innovative Waveline™ design reduces the distance between the embouchure and keys which enable players to have a natural posture and maintain a straight spinal column while playing. The comfortable posture motivates the players to play a longer period of time and increases the engagement of playing the flute.
The Waveline™ Flute is suitable for all players!
Healthy living, Happy playing!
Recipient of the 2013 Red Dot Design award for the Jupiter Waveline™ D-Loop Flute "The JUPITER D-Loop’s shape redefines the traditional look of the flute to meet the ergonomic requirements of smaller players, like children." - The JURY
Educator Recommendation Hui-Hsuan Chen Although the WavelineTM flute is made with same materials, has same keys and produces intonation as that of the regular flutes, the WavelineTM flute’s relatively short length means that its user is less likely to experience spinal pain and muscle ache during a performance. This unique design also means that children can play the WavelineTM flute in a relaxed posture and they are thus more motivated to learn flutes and focus more on other important aspects of the music lesson like proper breathing technique, posture and finger position. Moreover, it is easy for a child to make the transition from the WavelineTM flute to a regular flute as both models are designed to be held at same level.

“The ergonomic advantages of the Waveline™ Flute are evident. I, for my part, was sold by its sonic quality. I admit to being pleasantly surprised by the flute’s sound. All registers are balanced, the intonation is reliable, and the dynamic range is vast. It sounds the way you expect a flute to sound: beautiful, brilliant and effortless, with a quick response and loads of fun!” -Walter Auer, Solo Flautist of the Vienna Philharmonic
